LONDON'S POV
Rashaad has been over my house for two weeks. I came home one night and found him drunk sleeping on my couch. I guess you can say he lives here now. He filed for divorce and while he's waiting on it to finalize I told him he can stay here. He even paid rent and all the bills for this month.
Today I'm going over my parents. I feel like I haven't spent much time with them lately. I haven't spent much time with anyone really except for Rashaad and Mercedes. I feel kind of bad for neglecting Krystal but Mercedes needs a friend now a days. Why? Because Tony had a heart attack and passed away the same day she came home from college.
Even tho I didn't care about Tony and used him for money, I couldnt let my god sister deal with a lost like this on her own. We didn't tell Krystal about Tony's death because we thought it was irrelevant to her. She and Mercedes wasn't near as close as either of them where with me.
"Baby ill be back later I'm goin to see my parents. I' should be back in a few hours ok?" I said
"Alright. I love you." Rashaad said as he kissed my lips
"I love you too" I said smiling
I grabbed my new sunglasses and purse and went to my car and left.
As I approached the living room of my parents home I heard them arguing.
Not this shit again- I thought to myself
"What's goin on?" I asked them
"Nothin baby your dad is just drunk." my mom spoke up.
"Hey London baby. Hows daddy's girl?" my dad said givin me a hug
"I'm good dad. How are you? I know you probably still goin through it with Tony's death" I said
"Oh your dad ain't worried about him. Tony was my best friend but even your best friend ain't always loyal" he said
"Stop it Michael now! London sweety are you hungry?" My mom said
"Not really I just ate"
"Don't fuckin tell me to stop. Paula you know he wasn't loyal. Hell you ain't loyal either" my dad said slurring his words
I'm sick of his drinking. But most of all I'm sick of him coming at my mom any type of way when he's drunk. How dare he say my mother isn't loyal? She doesn't everything in her power to keep him and myself happy.
"Dad chill the fuck out! Why is it everytime you drink you talk to her like she's some fuckin dog? And mom since when do you let people talk to you that kind of way? Dad I love you but you out of line and you need help with this drinking thing" I said
"What the fuck you just say to me? Girl do you know who I am? If it wasn't for me your spoiled ass wouldn't be shit!" my dad said
"Michael!!" my mom yelled
"No let me finish Paula." he said then turned back around to me as he continued. "You walk around here all high and mighty like someone owes you something. Well you know what my precious daughter? I DONT OWE YOU SHIT! If anything you Tony and your mom owes ME!" he said
I turned to my mom lookin confused.
"Mom what the hell is he talkin about?" I asked her
"Ignore him London. Michael don't you dare!" my mom said to my dad
"No no I think its time our little princess learns the truth about where she came from. Why she's the only one in our family who gives a damn about clothes and money. Wouldn't you like to know why you're the only person of us three who gives a fuck about that shit London?" he said
